Premium MemberRemembrance Day

I remember, 
  Lestweforget, 
And the phrase: 
  Between the wars, 
Said during: 
  Times of peace.


Premium MemberHe Died on the Field, to Live in the Heart

He died on the field, to live in the heart,
Lifted are nations by heroes that fall;
Never we’ll know on which ground he took part;
But then, the truth is, he died on them all.
He held, on that day, “No evil shall pass!
No, not today, though I die at my post!”
Courage is not just a word by the crass,
But rises with flames, when duty calls most.
What shall we think of a life cut so short?
There once died a rose, that others might bloom;
What shall that death to the living report?
There once rose a call, that lives past the Tomb:
To face every danger, never to lag,
And to embody what’s meant by the flag.

Premium MemberHappy Women's Day!

Ladies, this day is your day. 
A remembrance of your works
Of your life, love, caring, heart
Of your perfect fire of life

We, the men, thank you all for your
All your sacrifices, help, love, and touches
Without you, ladies, we are nothing
The crown of life is yours. 

Thank you for everything in this life
And in all the lives, all times
We love you. Men. The men
Ladies, all days must be your days

You must get respect
You must get the limelight

Every day is a holiday
Celebrated for
Women's Day

We love you
Always
Men

Premium MemberA Palimpsest of Emotions

The lanes of Yew trees
in the Garden of Remembrance 
cast long shadows 
over the wilting wreaths of regret. 
The miasma 
of the colophons
inscribed
superseded by
the suppressed vignettes
at each service held.

Premium MemberSeptember

a searing gash the world still lives through Sep.11~ as phoenix proudly rises from ashes, life resurrects.

Premium MemberRed Poppy Reminder

the red poppy is almost an orange-red
two of my favorite colors, reminding me of bravery
the red -blooded soldiers who are willing to sacrifice everything
a field of these blooms parade about in my mind’s eye
reminding me to be more patriotic not just on special days

Premium MemberLife Altering

Today is the day
Twenty-nine years to the day
Life changed forever

Premium MemberIn Duty's Name - A Linking Pin Sonnet for Memorial Day

Duty calls from valleys deep and wide,
Wide like hearts where brave resolve does bide.
Bide the storms, through fire and endless rain,
Rain of trials met with a calm refrain.

Refrain from fear when darkness clouds the sky,
Sky holds hope where eagles dare to fly.
Fly with honor carved in steel and soul,
Soul forged firm in sacrifice and role.

Role of country’s shield in battle’s fire,
Fire of freedom fed by hearts’ desire.
Desire to serve with valor, strong and true,
True to flags in red and white and blue.

Blue, the banner waving high above,
Above all stands their country, duty, and love.

Premium MemberThe Quiet

The day is solemn
time to reflect
a thankfulness for sacrifice
Flags placed to honor
Names carved on stone
Dates of lives gone
Grace and silent prayers
No need for spoken words
shed a few tears
White crosses far to many
numbering those lost
who gain us this day of remembrance
The Quiet screams louder than a thousand bombs
rapid screech of gun fire
explosion of a grenade
the agony cry of a bayonet piercing life
hand to hand combat as the knife stabs through the heart
the dead lying silent on a bloody battlefield
Deafening sound of war.
We are here for the few that go
our way of life lives by the lost of their souls
we speak through their silence
Scripture read, prayer said, Taps bugle calls
tears flow
The Quiet.
